Webconfigurator Hangs

bkraptor

Has there been any progress on this bug? I want to add a PPP interface and can not do it because the WebConfigurator hangs.

No but here is a workaround:

Install the System Patches package
Add this patch: http://files.nyi.pfsense.org/jimp/patches/3g_alt_detect.diff
Path Strip Count = 1, Base = /, Ignore whitespace.
Save, Fetch, apply

Thanks. That worked.

Is there any side-effect from the workaround?

jimp

No it just doesn't automatically detect the proper modem port, so you have to guess which one is correct.

@jimp:

It's a function in the pfSense PHP module. Some functions, especially those that deal directly with hardware, were put there for optimization.

I just applied this patch today to the lastest version of 32-bit pfSense 2.1 development beta. I must ask though, why is this still an issue? Same issue exactly - tried to add a PPPoE connection and brought the whole thing down.

Also, when I tried just adding in the Interface it did it but it put the new PPPoE connection on the WRONG ETHERNET JACK. Yeah. But I could manually add it once I applied this patch, just seems this should "just work" out of the box.

I have also ran into this issue. Factory defaults does not help - I can not create PPP interface using webgui.
Applied patch - all works again.
P.S. I have played IPv6 settings before this happened.

Is there going to be a more permanent fix for this before 2.1-RELEASE? My system works perfect with the patch, but it seems this is bound to be a HUGE issue when released to a wider population if touching "PPPs" crashes the system.

There is a ticket open for this yet with a target of 2.1. It will either be fixed properly, or the patch incorporated to work around it, before 2.1 ships.

Hi, need some help.

Trying to configure a e392-u12 but can't add or modify PPPs connection.

My system:
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E1200 @ 1.60GHz, dual intel NIC, Atheros Wifi nic.

Pfsense Version:
2.1-BETA1 (amd64)
built on Wed May 8 16:38:46 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p8

Network config:
Wan in pppoe (using a ADSL modem)
Lan in Brigde NICs: em1 <-> ath0
2 wireless SSID

I'm trying to use e392 as wan backup or a default Wan, depends the stability. I install the patch http://files.nyi.pfsense.org/jimp/patches/3g_alt_detect.diff, but nothing change.

If you need more information, feel free.

Edited: I have to put manually $serialports = glob("/dev/cua?[0-9]{,.[0-9]}", GLOB_BRACE); in interfaces_ppps_edit, now i can see the advanced options, doesn't help me but that is another story.

Thanks
